About Safe-T-Cap Manufacturing
Safe-T-Cap Manufacturing, operating as Auto Rust Technicians, is based in Cranston, Rhode Island, in a 10,000-square-foot facility on the outskirts of Providence. The company was founded in 1977 by Jerry Carlson, an engineer from Detroit, Michigan, who began by welding a friend’s Volkswagen Beetle in his fabrication shop. Over four decades, the team has repaired more than 15,000 vehicles. The business runs two parallel operations: a service center that restores rusted frames through sandblasting, cutting out corroded sections, and welding in proprietary Safe-T-Cap repair kits; and a manufacturing line that produces those kits. Each kit is built from American-made cold-rolled steel, assembled and welded by certified welders, and designed for installation by qualified technicians worldwide. The product range covers frame sections for Jeep Wrangler, Ford Ranger, F-150, Chevrolet/GMC Silverado and Sierra, Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra, and FJ Cruiser, as well as Mopar, Saab, and other models. The kits are sold internationally via FedEx and USPS, with online sales to the U.S. and Canada. The Safe-T-Cap line originated as internal tooling for Auto Rust’s own repairs and evolved into a DIY product line to “fix the car without being there.” The company emphasizes domestic materials, over 40 years of research and development, and a specialization it calls “rustorations,” guaranteeing its work while leaving finish bodywork and painting to other specialists.
